can you measure torque in both directions?

Since there have been conflicting answers, I'll link to the owner's manual: http://www.tektontools.com/PRODUCT_MANUALS/MANUALS_2000/24320_manual.pdf. It states clearly that the torque measurement only works in one direction.

sorry for the slow reply and my answer isn't going to help because I apparently miss placed my torque wrench but I think you can measure in both directions? I used it to torque gas keys on my ar and scope mounts I was very pleased with the wrench.

Will try that tonight ('rear left +' and 'right rear-') and let you know how it works. Thanks again!

Yes this motor does reverse direction by simply reversing the leads and seems to provide the same amount of torque in both directions. I have a couple of these that I use to power Halloween animations and get sufficient torque using 12 volt power.

Depends. If you are using it for a heating element, it does not matter. If a DC Motor, it could determing which way the motor turns.

Yeah the markings make no sense because there is no point of reference. If you hold it in one hand and slowly push the drive in with your other hand you will see the direction it moves whether slightly clockwise or CCW. If you want it to torque the other way, just turn push in and rotate to the other setting.

This question is a little over my head, but I'm fairly certain that this meter has a single axis that it scans on. As you look at the device's 'face' the axis would be a left-right plane through the meter. Therefore if you turned the meter on its side, you would invert the axis by 90 degrees for an up-down axis. I hope this makes sense.

It will read for tightening a left hand fastener. I'm curious why you'd be interested in loosening torque values?

For torque-to-yield bolts you will need a dial attachment for the wrench to show degrees past torque. An option is to mark a line on the fastener and check the amount of rotation after required torque. This wrench is a pleasure to use.

i would say it does when the torque wrench handle is 90 degrees in the same plane as the axis of the fastener being torqued. I am not sure of your term angle torque zero in my mind there is no torque being applied or measured until the fastener is rotated by the torque wrench. In addition if the fastener does not rotate the fastener may be over torqued which I would say the digi torque wrench would measure the over torque value an audible click type torque wrench would not, a torque wrench with a pointer and scale would also measure the over torque value but to properly torque a fastener without over torquing some rotation is required until the wanted torque value is indicated. i would say it does when the torque wrench handle is 90 degrees in the same plane as the axis of the fastener being torqued.

the lever can be switched around to work in either direction left or right hand

If you mean in two axis, No. But if you mean both directions in one axis (180 degree), Yes.

I checked my manual and found no torque info. Torque seems to quite good as I have to turn torqe adjuster down 2-4 clicks to prevent turning heads off screws #8s #10s.

It can be calibrated the same way any torque wrench is cal'd. Any precision calibration shop will be able to do it. Scott Reilly, A&P; Mechanic

Yes, you can check the function of a diode with any ANALOG meter. The needle should swing only one way as you reverse the leads, because a good diode only conducts (current flow) in one direction. If you switch the leads (while on a low resistance scale) the meter should not "conduct", swing up if it did when they leads were reversed.This has been a good meter for me.

Good question. I don't think it is intended to curl in both directions. You might be able to manipulate it so the it does so - but if so it isn't intuitive.

Mine does show metrics on one side, foot pounds on the other. But it really doesn't matter because it doesn't work anyway. Might as well measure in "Star Treck" units.

Not sure exactly what your asking. If you place it on a vertical piece it will measure the angle on a horizontal plane from the vertical.
